A trip to the Weissenstein promises an unforgettable experience in any season. The new cable car will transport you to the top of Solothurn’s local mountain in just ten minutes. During the ride in the panoramic cable car, you are treated to unique views of the Swiss Central Plateau and the Alps – an experience for the whole family from Oberdorf (Canton Solothurn) up to 1,280 metres above sea level. Once at the top, you can look forward to a stunning Alpine panorama all the way from Säntis to Mont Blanc. Another highlight is the planet trail, which shares the story of the universe and is very popular with casual hikers. The Jura garden is a real treat and is home to around 200 different plant species. Delicious local produce awaits visitors in the mountain restaurants.
